On Wednesday night, it was announced that Stenhouse will drive the Keith Kunz Motorsports-Curb-Agajanian/NOS Energy No. 71R after another call to the legendary dirt racing owner.
This will be the 17th time the 2023 Daytona 500 champion competes in the Chili Bowl Nationals. Over those 16 starts, Stenhouse has made the main event a total of eight times with three top-10 finishes. Unlike Larson, he has not won a Golden Digger despite his best efforts. Now, Stenhouse has a great opportunity with Keith Kunz as his owner.
